The Signal and The Noise

Synopsis

This piece exposes the parallels of computer coding and genetic coding in humans and animals. Voiced by an anonymous group of ‘hybrid’ machines, from some point in the near future, these ‘narrators’ look at these creatures as inefficient machines and consider ways of editing and improving their code.
The film draws upon the research and tools used by Dr Darren Logan in his investigation of genetically influenced behaviour.
